Abstract: A method for generating at least one image from a bird's eye view. The method includes: a) carrying out a sensor data point cloud compression; b) carrying out a point cloud filtering in a camera perspective; c) carrying out an object completion; and d) carrying out a bird's eye view segmentation and generating an elevation map.

Abstract: A method for generating at least one representation of a bird's eye view of at least a part of the environment of a system, based on at least one or more digital image representations obtained from at least one or more cameras of the system. The method comprises: a) obtaining a digital image representation (2) advantageously representing a single digital image, together with at least one camera parameter of the camera that captured the image, b) extracting at least one feature from the digital image representation, wherein features are generated in different scales, c) transforming the at least one feature from the image space into a bird's eye view space, to obtain at least one bird's eye view feature.

Abstract: A method of detecting at least one traffic lane and/or a roadway marking in at least one digital image representation based on sensor data obtained from at least one environmental sensor of a system. The method includes: a) obtaining a plurality of digital image representations each containing a plurality of features representing the respective image content, b) applying a bird's eye view transformation to the obtained digital image representations, wherein each of the digital image representations is transformed separately so as to create transformed digital image representations, c) performing a consolidation of the transformed digital image representations to obtain a consolidated digital image representation.

Abstract: A method for detecting information about at least one object and/or at least a part of the free space in a representation (4) of the environment of a system. The method comprises: a) performing ground truth generation; b) performing an obstacle and clearance detection; c) performing a generalization across different cameras and/or different digital image representations.
